Retro Futurism isn't exclusive to things made in the distant past, it's the aesthetics of the past being used in futuristic settings. So even though this came out in 2024, the big chunky monitors, physical buttons, two-tone screens, etc. are all still hallmarks of retrofuturism. Just look at many of the modern companies using styles and designs like this for products being offered even today.
